i would like to see what everyone can come up with for the best cheap gaming build, no budget limit, however it must be cheap for the performance that it can achieve, i would like to see what parts people recommend, including mobos, heatsinks, ram, cpu, gpu, psu, ssd or hdd, monitors and cases.
any resolution you feel is the very best for gaming
form factor you decide which is best
you can decide on peripherals if they are needed
you already have windows xp professional sp3 / windows vista sp2 ultimate / windows 7 ultimate CDs
preferred if it was capable of running skyrim on max settings, just for a standard.
I'll start
